Tropical corals construct the three-dimensional framework for one of the most diverse
ecosystems on the planet, providing habitat to a plethora of species across taxa. However …

Washing using low-molecular-weight organic acid is an effective and eco-friendly technique
to permanently remove heavy metals from soil. There is still lack of evaluation of the …

The morphological architecture of photosynthetic corals modulates the light capture and

Many species across a wide range of taxa and habitats display phenological shifts and
differences in response to both environmental gradients and climate change. Moreover, the …

Global warming is causing rapid degradation of coral reefs, among which branching corals
are degrading the fastest. An assessment of coral genetic diversity and adaptive potential …

Genetic population patterns in coral reefs are important for understanding biodiversity and
forecasting recovery following disturbance. Studying gene flow between small and disrupted …

Savalia savaglia is an Atlantic-Mediterranean zoantharian species with a patchy geographic
and bathymetric distribution. Due to its longevity, S. savaglia may form large-sized colonies …
